The Berke Five: April 2009
http://theberkefive.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2009. Our Own Little Stay-cation. We wanted to get out and about, but we knew we couldn’t go far with John not being mobile. We decided on the Nature Center here in town. We had a good time rummaging around in the woods. We stopped off to look at the snakes and salamanders, and Grace fell in love with this beaver. . Gertie was coaxed into posing next to many stumps and dead trees. She’s awfully cute next to trees and stumps. Have a happy Tuesday. Sunday, April 12, 2009. John hurt hi...

The Berke Five: February 2009
http://theberkefive.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 25, 2009. My Baby is Three. It is late and quiet around here tonight. I've been wanting to post some pictures of Gertie's third birthday. She had a good time playing with her Grandma Mary and eating cake- I mean, frosting. She is completely on board with being three, and never needs reminding. What do I say about my three-year-old? But back to the little one. She loved having her Grandma here. They like each other. A lot. That makes me happy. Saturday, February 14, 2009. My little mag...

The Berke Five: November 2008
http://theberkefive.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 17, 2008. I can't say, "I like you," because I have tea in my mouth. I just said, "I like you," to Gertie. She replied, "I can't say, 'I like you,' because I have tea in my mouth.". She had just taken a drink of tea. She cracks me up. We saw many friends from high school. Lanny's funeral was very well attended. You just don't think people you know are going to die so young. Very hard. They have three kids, 17, 15 and 12. Pray for them. They'll need those prayers. Did this happen to you?

Sunday, January 17, 2010. And the Winner is…. 160; . And in other happenings:. Ethan is not the only member of our family that LOVES biscuits and gravy. Over the Christmas break John and I took the kids to Des Moines to visit some friends. We had a great time together catching up. Our friend Brian is half-nude only because he was the only parent devoted enough to get into the pool with the kids. And Gertie learns to swim. Well, we’ll. January 24, 2010 at 5:42 PM.

The Berke Five: Boating on Portage Lake
http://theberkefive.blogspot.com/2009/09/boating-on-portage-lake.html
Saturday, September 5, 2009. Boating on Portage Lake. Verena, Gertie and my Dad on the boat. My stepmom Judy and my Aunt Jean. Two good-looking chicks. Ethan and Dad and Judy's new pup, Becky. My Aunt Jean even got out on the tube with Grace. I insisted she wear that ridiculous life jacket. She thanked me later. Trust me. I stole this one from Judy. Me and my little girl. I think Chad looks like a true captain with his crew of boys. Gertie and me again. She loved tubing. Becky getting a little lovin'.

The Berke Five: Whoa. Back Up a Minute.
http://theberkefive.blogspot.com/2010/01/whoa-back-up-minute.html
Tuesday, January 5, 2010. Whoa Back Up a Minute. Here is one picture of my boy playing football this year. His first year in pads. This is one of about 300 pictures I took, and this is the best one. That may or may not tell you something about my photography skills. I just absolutely loved watching him play football. . And while we’re on the subject of Ethan, this is the speech that rocked the. Neveln Middle School and got my son elected treasurer of the student body. . 160; No, I do not. B...160; S...

The Berke Five: March 2009
http://theberkefive.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 8, 2009. John and I have the quiet house to ourselves. I should be sweeping and finishing the lunch dishes, but instead I've got my feet up and I've been wandering around Facebook and reading my e-mail. The dishes and the dirty floor will still be there in a few minutes, right? I didn't have enough money for a drink, but Ethan and Grace pooled some change and shared a pop. Just like the old days. I loved it. So, the days are good, but the house is messy. I must remedy this. The Zs in SD.

The Berke Five: January 2009
http://theberkefive.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 6, 2009. Oh, my goodness. This has been my longest blog vacation yet, I think. I really do feel naughty in the sense that I've been occasionally checking in and enjoying all my friends' and family's blogs, but really lived an internet sparse vacation. It wasn't internet free, just sparse. So, for posterity's sake, I need to rewind all the way to the week before Christmas. We arrived in DC exhausted, sore and happy. The weather was beautiful. Like 50 degrees. We basked. It's been a very l...
